Update on P.R. prices: It recently went up to $2.73/gal., 93-octane gas. What gets to me is that some guys here actually report a reduction in the price of gas in their area! What's with the "go up"/"go down" bit BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA?! Seems to me some of us are being conned by gas stations/distributors! Rats!

A lot of it can have to do with where it is import to (which part of the country). In Texas we have a huge chunk of the refineries for the US so it all comes here mostly, we process it and transport it out. Our gas prices are lower because of the almost zero transport cost. Other issues could have to do with if different parts of the country have different tax rates or "fees." Not sure how things are in P.R.

Things in Puerto Rico are awful, guy! Just to give you an idea: The base 370Z costs here $50,000!!! Probably, more that the NISMO, where you live! Ain't that highway robbery, dude?! That's why I had to get me an '04.5 Touring Coupe; it had only 13k on her, 'cause her original owner used to own a Pub and hardly ever used her. It's turned out to be one reliable, sweet ride! So far, the only thing that has failed on me is the driver's side power window motor; I paid $161.00, plus the old motor, at Advance Auto Parts. No Problemo! Greetings from P.R.! Oh, I almost forgot to tell you: My son's stationed at Laredo with the B.P.--Laredo South Sector. He also bought a used '04.5 Z, the Enthusiast model, though; and his has given him no pains, so far, either. Funny thing is, while his mother and I were visiting with him there, in Sept., gas prices were equal to Puerto Rico's. All of a sudden, they've skyrocketed down here!

He's also only had to replace a window motor, 7 times by my last count!

I think it's his way of talking himself out of buying a 370z!

I'm not worried about the price of gas as much as I'm worried about my mpg...

Since I've had the car (still less than 800 miles), I've averaged 16mpg! No crazy racecar driving, plenty of cruising at 58mph in 6th gear. That seems awfully low. Of course, I would have gotten an Altima if I cared too much about it. I just figured 18 mpg would be the minimum, not 15.9.

vipor · 11-15-2009, 09:33 AM

my mpg went up drastically after only a few tanks of gas. 16mpg avg babying, early shifting, keeping the revs down etc. now i do 19-20mpg fairly consistantly and i romp on it probably too often

vipor · 11-15-2009, 09:35 AM

if you have an iPhone i recommend getting the app "Gas Cubby." you can use it to keep track of maintenance and fillups very easily with mpg, $/gal, overall spending records. it's also exportable to excel should you feel the neccesity. also, works for multiple cars, not just one, and it's like 6 or 7$. if you do your own maintenance on your car you need to keep track of it including mileage for your factory warranty to be honored so that's why i got it.

...on the other hand, I keep reading 'bout all these spanking new 370s with all these old AND new bugs. Guess THAT justifies keepin'
my 350, huh?!

when the G37 came out, tons of people were against it and those people were G35 owners. now that the 370z is out, some 350z owners are in the same trend as you are in too.
